Dr. Cassibry is a professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering and affiliated with the Propulsion Research Center at the University of Alabama in Huntsville. Jason's research includes the theoretical and experimental study of magneto-inertial fusion for applications to advanced propulsion for interplanetary space travel and terrestrial power. Specific research areas include 3D modeling of these plasmas using smooth particle hydrodynamics, modeling of the coupling between plasma accelerators and external circuits, and pulsed z-pinch fusion.
Dr. Hubbard was a research physicist and senior manager at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) and retired in 2019 after serving many years as the Associate Superintendent of the NRL Plasma Physics Division. That Division is one of the largest plasma physics organizations in the world and carries out a broad range of theoretical and experimental research in laboratory and space plasmas, laser, pulsed power, microwave and particle beam systems, inertial confinement fusion, materials processing, high energy density plasmas, nonlinear dynamics, and electromagnetic launchers. His personal research primarily involved numerical simulation of intense beam propagation through gases and plasmas and has included studies of laser, microwave, and particle beams. This research was heavily motivated by potential applications, including laser wakefield accelerators, compact high current accelerators, beam-generated plasma processing, inertial fusion energy, novel sources of electromagnetic radiation, directed energy weapons, and remote sensing. Dr. Hubbard continues to work as a retired volunteer (Volunteer Emeritus) at NRL. He holds B.A., M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Physics and an M.A. in Business Administration. He is a member of the American Physical Society, IEEE, and the American Geophysical Union, and is a five-time winner of NRL’s Alan Berman Publication Award.
Dr. Mike LaPointe was a civil servant at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center (2004-2024), serving as a branch chief and deputy division manager for research and technology organizations before joining NASA HQ as a program manager and program executive for the transformative NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC) Program. Prior to joining NASA, Mike was a principal scientist at the Ohio Aerospace Institute, where he designed and operated a pulsed multi-MW electric propulsion facility to develop and test high power plasma thrusters. His research interests include advanced nuclear power and propulsion systems, including the development of a NASA funded gradient field fusion concept. Among other honors, Mike is the recipient of the NASA Silver Achievement and Exceptional Service Medals.
Mike holds BS and MS degrees in Physics, an MS degree in Astrophysical, Planetary, and Atmospheric Sciences, and a PhD in Nuclear Engineering. In 2024, Mike founded Earth2Space LLC to develop advanced technologies for terrestrial and space applications.
Mr. Dent has Masters’ degree in physics with over 50 years’ experience conducting theoretical and experimental research in nuclear physics and chemistry, neutron generators, nuclear pharmaceuticals, radiation transport, lasers and directed energy weapons, nuclear weapon effects, hypersonic reentry vehicles, ballistic missile reentry vehicles, and nuclear warhead design technologies. Since 1992, Bill has owned a company focused on the development of high-output neutron generators. Bill was awarded two pioneering patents for a neutron beam generator for fast neutron cancer therapy and received a patent for the production of the nuclear pharmaceutical technetium-99m with a neutron generator. Bill conducts analysis of radiation shielding for nuclear interplanetary propulsion concepts for the NASA Marshall Space Flight Center using the radiation transport code MCNP. Bill has a broad background in the fields of rocket propulsion, nuclear physics, missile systems and warheads, flight simulation and guidance techniques, optics, infrared signatures, and sensor technologies. He has been a chief scientist/physicist for several companies and has extensive experience managing and leading engineering design and development teams.
Dr. Marks is an expert in using data from nuclear plant operation to validate theoretical models and develop empirical models to predict future plant behavior including corrosion, corrosion product deposition, development of radiation fields, and plant responses to chemistry changes. Dr. Marks has developed an expertise in the chemistry of copper, both as a contaminant in steam generator deposits and as a primary construction material in turbogenerator cooling systems. The work that Dr. Marks has performed has utilized his skills in the areas of corrosion science, electrochemistry, chemical kinetics, colloidal science, fluid mechanics and thermodynamics. Dr. Marks has also performed numerous calculations and analyses related to detonation and deflagration of gas mixtures associated with nuclear power plant operation and waste processing. Since joining Dominion Electric in 1998, Dr. Marks has also been a major contributor to industry efforts to integrate new nuclear power plant designs into the current chemistry guidelines regime.
